No, otherwise I’d be toast!
I watch what I put on FB, that's to be sure, but that's the only place. I'm active on Reddit.
No, even though I don't enjoy the protective power and privilege of others I do enjoy a rational temperament and ability to see the difference between emotional outbursts and reasonable discourse. Until the time rationality becomes offensive I see no reason for concern.

Some people are not rational, and become upset if you are, and that can cause issues.
I received anonymous threats for simply asking to see a copy of the agency's budget and the quarterly financial report on my first day as an elected official responsible for overseeing that agency. I was accosted by a group of angry employees in the parking lot that evening, two of whom attempted to violate my personal space while exhibiting quite threatening body language. They probably came within a second of lots of paperwork and post-incident reports having to be filed.
One of my fellow commissioners had their automobile vandalized multiple times, and the company they worked at received all sorts of anonymous phone calls asking that they be fired. Someone "bumped" one of my fellow commissioners in a parking lot with an automobile. A campaign of vile sexual innuendo was launched against one of the female commissioners. Etc.
I had to have the Sheriff send deputies to several of our meetings as a result of this level of nonsense.
I thought asking for the budget and the report was quite rational, especially as that was my legal duty, and I would have been on the hook personally if I'd just signed off on things blindly. Some of the folks there thought that was a threat to the Chief. That Chief is no longer with the agency, many budgetary irregularities were in fact uncovered, as well as a culture of intimidation and retribution within the agency. Most of those people no longer work there anymore.
You are always interested in other points of view. Here is one expounded upon.

Less than 5 minutes in is discussion.
Thanks for that, I haven't had the opportunity to see or hear any of the personalities from the former MSNBC, current MSNOW since we hit the road in November. I have to admit though that while I was willing to watch your video for nearly an hour just to hear another opinion, I didn't make it past the first 3.5 minutes as in just that short time Jen Psaki referred to Tom Homan as 'dark and evil', Donald Trump as 'unhinged, unpopular grandpa' and this administration's most recent Cabinet meeting as 'North Korean style meeting where members go around the room lavishly trying to one-up each other by praising him". I think I got the gist of the extended discussion from that so I decided to do something useful instead rather than waste the remaining 45 minutes. Thanks though!

Apparently today is National Shutdown day as some form of protest. "No work, no, school, no shopping". Got it.
My legacy news seems mystified as to what the FBI is after in Georgia as well as Gabbard's appearance, although Trump being a bad loser is most often mentioned. I guess time will tell.
The price of silver has dropped 35% today with the new Fed chairman announcement, not that that is an indicator or anything significant interest unless one likes to speculate.

Ahem. The Donald does not “lose.” Remember we gotta watch what we say now online.
Around 5 minutes into talked about the conspiracy theory you referred to. That is why I told you were to start.
